Hi Dave,

This mail will arrive twice, I first sent from my no more subscribed

I guess two things should be done:
- append .r extension to addhandler directive
maybe you could even do it yourself with an .htaccess file in your
document-root containing the line:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .sh .pl .r
- Tell apache to use the rebol executable for .r files, but how this is
done on winows, if #! lines seem to ignored, is way beyond me.
(Maybe it'd work, if they told you _where_ they installed rebol, and
you used the correct path? I don't know ...)
I hope that helps,
kind regards,
Ingo
